Maternity & Postpartum Massage in Evanston, Illinois

Pregnancy is an incredible journey—but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. At Body Works by Carla in Evanston, Illinois, we provide prenatal and postpartum massage services to help expecting and new mothers feel more comfortable, relaxed, and supported. Whether you visit our Evanston location or schedule a mobile massage in the Chicago area (two-hour minimum), Carla is trained to provide safe, effective, and customized care for every stage of pregnancy.

Prenatal Massage: Relief for Your Changing Body

During pregnancy, your body is constantly adjusting to support your growing baby. The added weight and shifting posture can lead to aches, swelling, and stress. A certified prenatal massage therapist knows how to massage you safely, targeting the areas that need it most.

If you’re wondering how to reduce swelling or relieve pregnancy-related aches, a prenatal massage can help. Regular massage sessions relax your body, improve circulation, and support your overall well-being.

Third-Trimester Prenatal Massage Benefits

Massage in the third trimester is particularly beneficial as your body prepares for labor. We tailor every session to your individual needs—whether you want a focused back massage or a full-body prenatal massage. Key benefits include:

• Better sleep, so you’re rested for labor and delivery
• Relief from aches and pains
• Reduction of the stress your body is holding
• Preparation of your body for labor
• Reduced swelling
• Relief from nerve pain

Every pregnancy is different, and each body carries the baby in its own way. Carla adjusts each session to meet your unique needs and provide maximum relief.

We also offer prenatal massage packages for regular sessions to ease discomfort and promote relaxation as your pregnancy progresses.

Postpartum Massage: Restore and Rejuvenate

After delivery, your body is recovering from pregnancy and childbirth. A postpartum massage can help you:

• Relieve pain and tension
• Regulate hormones
• Reduce swelling
• Improve sleep quality
• Support lactation and breastfeeding comfort

Postnatal massage provides gentle, restorative care to help your body heal, recharge, and feel more balanced during the postpartum period.
